Description

An old Nichiren temple on the slope of Mt. Ogurayama, famous for autumn foliage. Its Niomon Gate houses Kongo Rikishi statues traditionally attributed to Unkei, giving the entrance to this quiet mountain temple a powerful protective presence. Along the moss- and maple-lined approach, visitors can experience both the beauty of nature and the solemn force of guardians protecting the Buddhist Dharma.
